we made it.

We landed safely back in America! What a long day...or couple of days that was. We had a layover in New York and then a "stop over" in Minnesota. We were there for fourteen hours. Long enough to see Kevin's parents, our friend Annie and her sleeping little Lincoln, and my mom. She took Max back home with her. Max was telling everyone from friends to taxi drivers that he was going to grandma's house because mom and dad have to do boring things! Which is very true....we don't have a lot of time to play. Chores. Chores. Chores. Not to mention, most toys are in storage or en route in an air cargo crate! We made it to Seattle on Tuesday and have been busy getting life organized since. Our sleep is still WAY off...we have been up and ready to go between 3 and 4 AM....but force ourselves to sleep to at least 6:30. Our little personal alarm clock is halfway across the US and we are getting up earlier than he would!
I am still working on the remaining  final days in Dublin.

 Watching the tall ships sail off. WAAAAAAY out there.

 One last time in Howth.

Howth was exhausting.
